I woke up this morning to find an email from Joe Bork [MS] in my inbox.

He works in the Visual Studio group, and he's trying to help me work through the problems I've been having with VS and deployment/debugging to my PocketPC.

Sometimes, it's easy to feel that MS is this ginormous company, that I'm banging at the door, begging for help, and that nobody is listening.

That's because MS is this ginormous company, and I am banging at the door, begging for help.

However, just when you think nobody is listening, someone from MS jumps out from behind the bushes beside the door and surprises you.

Which is nice.

So, this is my thanks to Joe for jumping out from behind the bushes.
